"` Surface and groundwater monitoring is the permit and <br />adjacent areas x111 also continue to gather data to assess lonq- <br />term impacts•of.the operations. The specific monitoring program <br />is gresented in section 2.05.6, Proteotion of the Hydrologic <br />Balance. <br />(3) Alternative Water Suap~v Information <br />Results of the detailed surface and groundwater study <br />completed by Water, Waste and Land, Ltd. and subsequent studies <br />by WFC indicate that the mining operation at the Golden Eagle <br />Mine should not result in significant contamination, diminution, <br />or interruption of underground or surface water sources within <br />the permit area and adjacent areas. As indicated in Table 7 <br />(Well Survey), Table 8 (Windmill Survey) and Table 9 (Stockpond <br />Survey), all water resources are obtained from Strata above the <br />coal seam to be mined. Section 2.05.6, Mitigation of Surface <br />Coal Mining Operation Impacts, indicates that longwall mined <br />areas will subside plastically rather than fracturing the <br />inherent material. As a result, significant impact to these <br />resources is not likely to occur. In addition, if impa<:ts are <br />identified, WFC will utilize surface water, overburden aquifer <br />and/or sub-coal aquifers to replace water supply. <br /> <br />2.04-25 (Revised 9/01/89) <br />(Revised 1/09/90) <br />
